When I was new to python I did exactly what you said, and discovered the following facts:

1. Reading a library you are using, even if it's a standard library like smtplib is fun and makes you smarter and your code better.

2. Python is such a joy to read, unlike some other languages.

3. Some libraries (I'll mention smtplib again) are such a mess, and yet reasons 1 + 2 still make it easy for you to learn from them, while also learning what not to do.
